Most olive oil is fake in the United States.


The best way to buy real olive oil in the US is to buy California olive oil. The majority of imported olive oils are suspect.

Same with honey. Should only buy local honey.

Yup. Single origin California olive oil and honey that came from bees that are close enough that I could visit during a lunch break. I’m normally not terribly picky about staples like that, but there’s just too much frickery that goes on in those two industries.

Even if it is 100% olive oil, especially the cheaper stuff is often dregs from old harvests and even rancid when bottled.
